Life List - Run a 5K

I did it!  I completed my first 5K run on Sunday and it couldn't have been a better day.  The sun was shining, and the weather wasn't too hot or too cold.  I definitely want to run the Chocolate Race again next year, and my cheerleader has said she will join me next year.  Although my mini-cheerleader might not be quite ready for it yet.

Here are the pics:

My mini-cheerleader wasn't quite ready to go

But I was ready!

Happy to cross the finish line

One of us was enjoying a chocolate martini

 

I was so glad to have two supportive people cheering me on.  Elizabeth acted as photographer, and her baby, Daisy, was definitely an attention grabber.  She woke up when we arrived at the race, and didn't fall asleep again until we left.  So many people to look at and smile for!

Here are the official stats for my first race:

Finishing time was 34:35

In my age category (Female 30-39) I placed 33rd out of 97

In the 5K I was the 102nd female to finish

My pace was 6:55/km

I'm already planning my next race, and want to finish under 30 minutes.  Which might be more of a challenge as the next one will be the August long weekend.  It will be much warmer!
